Podcasts about royal oaks

We're all more than familiar with the Speedmasters, Submariners, and Royal Oaks of this world. We're even familiar with the Ingenieurs, Reversos, and Andy Warhols. But many watches in top brands' catalogs are painfully overlooked. On today's episode of Fratello Talks, we're taking a look at a handful of them. You might not hear about these watches every day, but we believe they deserve more credit than they get. Of course, these will just be some of the many underappreciated watches out there, so if we missed one of your favorites, be sure to let us know.

Kinsleigh and her mom Christie joined Wake Up Tr-Counties to talk about the bake sales they held over the summer to raise money to fill senior angels from nursing homes in Kewanee. Kinsleigh is a 10-year-old student at Central School, and ringing bells on her birthday inspired her to get Christmas presents for seniors in nursing homes. She talks about how many residents in nursing homes have no family or no one to visit them. She raised $1,156 from the bake sales, and she and her mom Christie, with a little help from Grandma Madeline, baked all the treats and sold them around the community. They took the last 69 tags left on the Angel Trees from Royal Oaks and Kewanee Care Home. Kinsleigh said she wants this to be a yearly tradition for her family. Her goal was 50 angels, which she met plus more. Excellent work, Kinsleigh, from your friends at Regional Media! We can't wait to talk with Kinsleigh next year. In the meantime, if you want to help, send us a Facebook message with your information, and we will pass your information to Christie.

Said Blown Away Season 4 winner, Morgan Peterson, “I'm not just the creepy weirdo lurking in the background anymore. I'm right up front.” As champion of Netflix's 2024 glassblowing competition series, the Seattle-based artist received a whopping cash prize of $100,000, a paid residency in Venice, Italy, with glass legend Adriano Berengo, and a residency at the world-renowned Corning Museum of Glass. Growing up in Boston, MA, Peterson's watched horror films and Unsolved Mysteries with her Godmother, introducing her to the unnerving  and creepy style so associated with her unique work that uses metaphor and imagery to address themes of pop culture and addiction. On Blown Away 4, from her initial bathtub-toaster combo titled Best Friends to a knife thrower's impeccably made knives, black and white targets, and puddles of blood to her unforgettable monster mushroom, dark humor and twisted style set Peterson's work apart- not just from other artists on the show, but from other artists making work in glass today. Her final gallery, 6 Crime Scenes, included 80 glass objects and was described by guest evaluator Berengo as “fresh, new, and very contemporary.” The crime scene installation was based on six murders that occurred in Chicago during the 1920s and inspired by the artist's obsession with the musical Chicago. Peterson graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a dual degree in 2006. Upon completion of her degrees, she relocated to Seattle, WA, to pursue a career and continue her education and advancement in the arts. She has worked for many notable artists including Buster Simpson and Bruce Mau, and is a full-time team member for Dale Chihuly. Heavily involved with Pratt Fine Arts and Pilchuck Glass School, she is not only a member of the staff but also an instructor.  Included in The Young Glass Exhibition, hosted by the Glasmuseet Ebeltoft, which is an international competition that only occurs once a decade, Peterson has also participated in multiple group shows in 2019, including Pittsburgh Glass Center, The Habatat Invitational, CHROMA (Nashville, TN), Traver Gallery (Seattle, WA), REFRACT (Seattle's Glass Art Fair), and the Irish Glass Biennale (Dublin also in 2023). In 2020 and 2022, the artist exhibited virtual solo shows through Habatat in Royal Oaks, MI. Her first in person solo exhibition was held at Method Gallery, Seattle, WA, in October 2021. Since winning Blown Away 4, Peterson says she has been “very busy in the best ways possible.” Her latest work will be on view in Once Upon a Crime In Hollywood, opening Saturday, April 13, 6 p.m. -10 p.m. at the new Nathie Katzoff Art Gallery, 8900 Beverly Blvd., West Hollywood. PLEASE RSVP – info@nathiekatzoff.com. Her Corning residency takes place April 22 – 28, and she'll participate in a group show at Traver Gallery in Seattle this October.

Okie Dokie Smokie, Have at it if you dare! Today we take a look at Rolex look a likes, not knock offs. I know you purists are thumbing your nose, but you'd be surprised at the prices and quality available. How about $299 for Daytonas, Submariners and Pateks and Royal Oaks with a Seiko Movement and good quality cases? For a knock around watch, its a deal. Listen and learn, my friends.

Fratello On Air returns with a rip-roaring episode where we ask you, dear listeners, to step away from the hype. There's a lot of it around these days and it can be overwhelming. We're here to talk about it and have a little fun along the way.Don't believe the hype! No, this isn't a discussion about Public Enemy, but a discussion about watches and some of the brands that have been making their way back into the mainstream. The hype is well orchestrated at times, a little too orchestrated as we'll see. It doesn't mean that the watches are bad, but are they the second coming? We have our doubts.Handgelenks KontrolleWe kick things off with some discussion around the recent Geneva auctions. There were some interesting lots, but the weekend felt a bit muted. The hordes of "AquaNautilus" and Royal Oaks seemed to dominate the scene, which got a bit snoozy. Vintage was there but to a relatively small degree. Mike discusses his impressions after watching some of the proceedings over the weekend and we even chat about certain lots. For the Handgelenks Kontrolle, Balazs is wearing his '70 Grand Seiko 5646-7010 which leads to a discussion on a Seiko Duotime that Mike owns with the same base movement. Mike is back to his trusty Rolex 1016 because he's in comfort mode.The Hype Machine is aliveThe main focus of our show today is to discuss brands that have been inundating our Instagram accounts, the web, and now the auction circuit as recently as this past weekend. Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta are LVMH brands that have received a lot of press coverage recently. In our eyes, they were niche at best and controversially designed at a minimum. Should you be as excited as the collective wants you to be? Then, we see heavy dealer activity on brands like Franck Muller and vintage Piaget. Is this where we're heading or does the push boil down to hype? We discuss and hypothesize why this is happening. The hype is real folks.We hope you enjoyed today's episode. If you have thoughts on upcoming shows, don't hesitate to let us know.

The recent mass shootings in Half Moon Bay put a spotlight on the decades long plight of farmworkers in California who often earn low wages and live in substandard housing. The shootings are only the latest in a particularly hard year for farmworkers. Severe storms damaged crops and livelihoods up and down the state as climate change continues to worsen conditions such as wildfires, extreme heat and flooding that threaten California's agricultural industry. Meanwhile, many laws aimed at protecting farmworkers are not enforced. We'll talk about the various challenges farmworkers face and efforts to help them when disasters hit. Guests: Daniel Costa, director of immigration law and policy research, Economic Policy Institute; former senior advisor on immigration and labor to the California Attorney General Vanessa Rancaño, housing reporter, KQED News Marisa Kendall, covers housing, the Bay Area News Group Michael Méndez, assistant professor, School of Social Ecology, University of California, Irvine; author, “Climate Change from the Streets: How Conflict and Collaboration Strengthen the Environmental Justice Movement” Farida Jhabvala Romero, reporter, KQED Javier Zamora, owner, JSM Organics farm in Royal Oaks, CA

This week on the podcast, Blake, Zach, and Thomas talk about some of the big new releases over the last few weeks. In case you haven't been keeping up with the site, the last few weeks of January saw a flurry of new releases from brands like Zenith, Hublot, Oris, and more. Today, we're focusing mainly on the standouts from the LVMH stable of brands, including a compelling new affordable diver from TAG Heuer, and an extremely wearable entry from Hublot, with a name that doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense to us (let us know in the comments if you agree). Outside of LVMH, there's also the matter of a brand new Royal Oak Jumbo (and a whole bunch of other Royal Oaks) from Audemars Piguet, an early candidate for the biggest release of the year. Be sure to let us know here or on Instagram which watches from the LVMH brands you're most looking forward to seeing this year, and which flavor of Royal Oak you'd have if you could get an allocation. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by Adam (@mediumwatch) as we journey to Taiwan to catch up with Joe (@biaoist). Joe is the founder of Redbar Taiwan (@redbartaiwan), a banker by day, and a collector of "OG" watches. Joe begins the podcast double-wristing some "Oaks", with a "Baby Oak" (AP Royal Oak 56175) to match Adam and a JellyOak (G-Shock GA2100SKE) to match Anthony. We then learn the origins of Joe's top hat logo, his thoughts on how leadership has changed in the past year, and how leading from home has changed his watch choices. Diving into Joe's watch box, we hear the stories behind his Royal Oaks, learn more about his passion for Grand Seiko, and discover the reasons behind his decision to aim to collect the original version of many watches. We then discuss other approaches to collecting that he has learned about through chatting with collectors at Redbar Taiwan and on his podcast (see Biaoist.com). We then briefly dive into the Mandarin watch media, watch collecting in Taiwan, and how he decided to found Redbar Taiwan. We conclude with a discussion of how our listeners can learn more about watch content from the Mandarin-speaking world. Be sure to follow @biaoist on IG to see the evolution of this fine collection of "OG" watches.

In this sermon from Nerd Pastor Nate, delivered at Royal Oaks United Methodist Church in Concord, NC, on July 25th, 2021, he discusses the freedom given to us from sin in faith and what we should do with that freedom. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 New Revised Standard Version 19 For though I am free with respect to all, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though I myself am not under the law) so that I might win those under the law. 21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law) so that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, so that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.

On this episode of Q&A Tuesday I answer the following questions:⚙️ The pre-owned market seems to be insane right now. Exhibit A - $34,000 steel Pateks selling for over $400,000! Will these prices hold? Are we in for a correction? ⚙️ What do you think is the future of the Rolex Daytona 116515LN discontinued (chocolate/alligator belt) in terms of its valuations. Would it be a good investment to hold on to?⚙️ What would it take for a company such as JLC or A. Lange & Söhne to have watches that appreciate in value as much as AP, Patek, and Rolex? Do you think brand recognition along with scarcity is the main reason watches appreciate? ⚙️ What's your take on the old 36mm Royal Oaks in Full Gold(4100BA, 14790BA)?  As They are still relatively cheap.

In this episode we start our discussion of Crime Seen, by Victoria Laurie. Abby is recovering from being shot in the chest and finds herself struggling through PTSD. Dutch and Milo are preparing to present arguments against release at a parole hearing for the man who confessed to killing Milo's old detective partner. Unfortunately Abby's intuition tells her the man who confessed didn't actually commit the crime and that there is WAY more to the story. Her PI friend Candace moves to Royal Oaks to hang her shingle, Abby gets roped into undercover work at a shady mortgage company, and is the most hilariously terrible liar ever. Katy sympathizes with Abby over sociopathic cats, Frannie is still losing her mind over "The Staircase" owl theory, and we discuss just how dumb guys can be when it comes to birthdays and anniversaries.

Royal Oaks in Youngstown is full of babies, bad drinks, and brothers. Jon Taffer's gotta fix em all. But can he fix a broken city? We're joined by special guest Liam Klinkenberg to discuss this mead-filled episode.

What's up, Hiroshi? Let's light this candle!

Then, KNBC-TV legal analyst Royal Oaks discusses the Supreme Court vacancy, "The People v. OJ Simpson" and the upcoming baseball season.

Remember a few years ago when Amazon introduced that mysterious device called a Kindle? People worried that electronic readers would replace traditional books. Turns out the death of the hardcover was greatly exaggerated. Also, the expression "bump and grind" doesn't always mean what you think. Plus, the origin of jet black, the roots of fugacious, a game called Goin' to Texas, and how to punctuate the term y'all. And is there anything express about espresso? FULL DETAILSRemember the olden days of 2007, when Amazon first introduced the Kindle? Oprah named it her Favorite New Gadget. Some people thought e-readers signaled the death of hardback books, but as Nicholas Carr notes in the Wall Street Journal, only 16% of Americans have purchased an e-book, while 60% say they have no interest in them at all. What is clear is that no matter the medium, people are reading more in general."I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump n' grind," sings the R&B star R. Kelly, referring to the hip-thrusting dance that's all the rage with kids these days. While some people use the phrase the old bump and grind to refer to the daily grind of workaday life, it's probably better not to use it unless your job involves, well, bumping and grinding.Alan from Austin, Texas, asks: How do y'all punctuate the contraction of you all? Is it y'all or ya'll? You'd think it'd follow the pattern of she'll and we'll, but y'all is an exception to the rule.A while ago we talked about the drink called a suicide, also known as a Matt Dillon. That's when the bartender pours whatever's dripped on the bar mat into a shot glass and some lucky fellow downs it.

Strangely enough, it's yet to be called the Tasty.Our Master of Quiz John Chaneski has a game from his home borough of Brooklyn. For this quiz, he gives us the definition of a word, plus its Brooklynese definition.

The jet in jet black is the name of a black semi-precious stone, which in turn takes its name from the part of Syria where it was found in abundance in antiquity.

James from Seattle, Washington, hosts a local pub quiz night, where he's known as the Quizmaster. But, he wonders, would it be appropriate to call a woman a Quizmaster? Of course!

An essay on baseball slang from 1907 sent Martha off on a search for more of these wet ones.In Chicano English, the word barely, which traditionally means "just happened," can also mean "almost didn't happen," as in I just barely got here.

The Chicano use of the barely in this sense is a calque, or loan translation, which occurs when a pattern from one language gets transferred to another.Our earlier conversation about sign language reminded Martha of this quote from Helen Keller: "Once I knew only darkness and stillness…my life was without past or future…but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living."One of our listeners was visiting the Orchid House at the San Diego Zoo and happened across the word fugacious, meaning "blooming only briefly." The word can also apply to one's mood, and shares a Latin root with "fleeting" words like refuge, fugitive and subterfuge.Is there an express in espresso? Nope. Cafe espresso is literally "pressed-out coffee." So the name espresso has nothing to do with the speed with which espresso is made. The term express, on the other hand, as in express train, derives from the idea of "directly," or "specific to a particular destination." It's the same express as in expressly forbidden, meaning "specifically forbidden."Mary, from Royal Oaks, Michigan, says she once confused a friend by offering to relieve her of snow shoveling duties with the question, Can I spell you?
